This is the first season of Indian Premier League for Gujarat Lion which is included into the league due to the suspension of two teams Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Superkings which was the part of the tournament from the inaugural season. Despite of being a new team GL shocked every body by their performance into the league. They are currently on the 2nd spot in the IPL points table with 12 points.

But last couple of game they lost due to which confidence of players have gone down. Here Captain and coaching staff have to step in and back up all the players so that they will be on the ground with the electrifying charge as earlier. The batting unit in the couple of games looking struggling. Captain Suresh Raina scoring runs but didn’t able to convert a good start into a big Inning. Bowling department is good Bravo, Faulkner, Jadeja and who can forget the young spinner with unique bowling action Shivil Kaushik. If the batting order of the Gujarat Lions rolled out good then it will be tough for the Sunirsers to tackle the bowling unit of Lions.
It is very difficult for any team to defeat SRH at their home ground and specially when the team is in good form. The captain of team David Warner is playing extremely well.

Last year he was the part Delhi Daredevils but this year he will represent SRH team and today in the SRH vs DD match he will make his debut in IPL 2016.
The bowling department of SRH is one of the strongest among the other teams. Young Mustafizur Rahman who has been very impressive throughout the tournament, Bhuvneshwar Kumar swinging the ball very well, Experienced Ashish Nehra is there for the team in the slog overs. The thing about which they will be worried is the batting. If Warner departs early, teams comes under pressure due to which they are unable to put runs on the boards. Hope this time all the batsman took the responsibility and give some freedom to the Warner. With the availability of Yuvraj Singh in the squad, batting of the team will be strengthened.
